  • Actually finish the cleanup

3. Smart defaults

  • AI pre-selects what to delete

Common Concerns

"What if it deletes important photos?"

  • Deleted photos stay in "Recently Deleted" for 30 days

"Is 10 minutes really enough?"

  • For most users, yes
  • 5,000 photo library = 10-15 minutes
  • 10,000+ photos = 20-25 minutes

"Do I need technical skills?"

  • No. Tap buttons, review, delete
  • If you can take a photo, you can do this
